Chapter 099 Chapter 99

Emile waited outside the orphanage for a long time.

There is a special barrier formed by spiritual power on the wall.

No sound could be heard from inside, so Emil had no idea what was happening inside, nor did he know that two rounds of fighting had already taken place there.

He's just a little weird.

Herman did not come out for a long time, and no instructions were given to him for the next step.

This is very unusual.

He hesitated and lowered his head to send an inquiring message to Hermann.

Within a minute, the message came back.

【Hermann: Come in.】

It was the same tone Hermann usually used when giving him orders, concise and to the point.

Emile didn't think much about it and just climbed over the wall.

But the moment he landed, he felt a strong and unfamiliar spiritual energy coming towards him.

It's S-level!

He reacted extremely quickly and used his special powers just as he was about to retreat and escape.

The Sky-Splitting Ability had just been used not long ago and was actually still cooling down, but it was not impossible to activate it forcefully.

But the other party did not give him this opportunity.

Three minutes later, Emil's hands and feet were tied behind his back and thrown into the corner.

The person who attacked him pulled a chair in front of him and sat down.

The moment he saw the other person's face clearly, Emil's pupils trembled and he recognized him at a glance.

“It’s you…!!”

Li Zhou crossed his legs and leisurely looked down at him. "We've met from a distance a few times before. I guess we don't need an introduction, right?"

The two of them had met many times before.

Every time Li Zhou and Hermann were arguing with each other, Emil followed Hermann quietly.

But although we had a lot of interactions, we never spoke.

Emil stared at him warily and asked, "Why are you here?!"

Li Zhou didn't answer him. Instead, he raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is this the time for you to ask me a question?"

While speaking, he was playing with the phone in his hand aimlessly.

The movement was not large, but Emil noticed it immediately.

The reason was simple: he was very familiar with this phone; it belonged to Hermann.

How could it be in Li Zhou’s hands?

What about the Hermanns?

What exactly happened?

Wasn't Li Zhou still in China yesterday? Why is he here now?!

Emile probably would never have imagined that Li Zhou would act so quickly and so unconventionally.

Emile stared at him in shock, speechless for a long time.

Li Zhou curled his lips in satisfaction and said softly, "Don't worry, I have no intention of hurting you for the time being. I only captured you because I wanted to know something."

Emil looked up: "What's the matter?"

Li Zhou pointed to the welfare home's teaching building behind him and said coldly, "Tell me what secrets are in that laboratory, what is it used for, and how does it relate to the Dreiser family."

Emil said nothing.

Just say it when he asks you to?

Who do you think he is?

Li Zhou had anticipated this reaction. He slowly tossed the phone up and caught it again, saying calmly, "Don't want to talk about it? How about this? How about I trade one of my people with you?"

Emil slowly raised his eyes, frowned, and didn't fall for it: "You caught Hermann? Then why don't you just ask him directly?"

After asking, he became even more certain that the other party was using a mobile phone to defraud him.

Impossible.

Even if Li Zhou and Herman really fight, their strength will be at least 50-50.

He and Hermann had just been separated for less than half an hour. How could Li Zhou control Hermann so easily?

He's definitely being tricked!

Li Zhou shrugged: "Of course I caught him."

However, he had no intention of explaining to him, and instead said, "But who said I was going to trade him for information with you?"

Emil was stunned for a moment: "Then who do you want to exchange?"

Li Zhou slowly raised the phone in his hand and made a call.

Then, he placed the phone interface right in front of Emile.

On the call interface, it was Lance's note.

Herman used this phone to call Lance——

Emil's eyes slowly widened.

Soon, the call was connected.

On the other end of the line, there were a few vague groans, followed by a few distant, broken voices: "Al! Save me!!"

Then there were a few muffled groans and a messy dull sound as if something was hit hard.

Emil's pupils shrank slightly and he looked up at Li Zhou in disbelief.

Al, this was the nickname the brothers called each other when they were young, and they never mentioned it in front of outsiders.

In this world, no one else knows this except Hermann himself.

His breathing stopped, and he immediately believed that the person on the other end of the phone was indeed his brother.

Lance!

He resisted the urge to pounce on Li Zhou immediately, his eyes reddened.

Little did he know that the person on the other end of the phone was actually Xia Meng in disguise.

The note on Herman's phone was changed, and when he dialed the number, it wasn't directed to the real Lance, but to her.

And she used a voice changer to accurately simulate Lance's voice——

The Lance she remembered was already seventeen years old.

She has passed the voice change period, and her voice has not changed much in adulthood. She made some adjustments and used other sounds to cover it up, so even if her biological brother came, she wouldn't be able to tell it apart.

As for Al—

Billy had secretly told her this nickname.

Emil and Billy are roommates.

When assigning dormitories in their welfare home, they don't consider relationships between siblings or who has a good relationship with whom. They only look at level, strength, and the time of awakening.

Emil woke up much earlier than Lance, and was assigned to the same room with Billy and became his roommate.

Even Emil himself didn't remember it, but Billy actually knew the nickname Al.

Billy died too young.

Amy could never have imagined that the flaw would come from the mouth of a man who had been dead for almost twenty years.

At this time, Li Zhou asked again: "So, are you willing to do this deal now?"

Without waiting for Emil's response, he pointed behind him again and said, "What is the laboratory in there used for?"

He used a piece of information in exchange for his brother's life.

What's so difficult to choose?

He had made a similar choice more than 20 years ago.

He used his brother's life in exchange for his own willingness to work for Hermann.

Sky Rift is too rare.

Hermann wanted him to work for him, so he promised him.

As long as he stayed with him, he wouldn't hurt Lance.

Emil took a deep breath and slowly lowered his head in compromise.

"…for biological experiments."

Li Zhou: "What experiment?"

Emil closed his eyes. "I don't know the details, but it's probably a blood experiment... probably researching how to develop a superpower preparation."

Li Zhou: "Superpower preparation? What is that?"

Emil: "The name says it all... It's a method of gaining supernatural powers by using a certain preparation."

Li Zhou narrowed his eyes. "How is that possible? My superpower is related to my mental attributes. How can I use it whenever I want?"

Emil: "...I don't know about that. Anyway, Hermann has been doing research in this area for years."

The Emir knows almost everything.

Li Zhou paused and lowered his eyes.

He has not yet disconnected the call with Xia Meng.

She should have heard what Emil said.

What to do next?

Let Emile go?

Li Zhou tapped his finger three times gently on the phone screen.

When you click the third time, the call is disconnected.

This was a signal he and Xia Meng had agreed upon before.

If everything went according to their plan, she would disconnect the call as soon as he tapped the screen three times.

Li Zhou put away his phone.

Without a word, he stood up and untied Emil.

Emil was a little stunned.

He was a little bit unbelievable that Li Zhou was so true to his promise that he let him go without even saying a word.

When he fell into his hands just now, Emil was even mentally prepared to exchange his life for another.

Li Zhou said calmly, "I only captured you to get information. If I get the information, there's no point in keeping you. I'm not Herman. I won't kill people casually."

Emil blinked in surprise.

Li Zhou leaned over and untied the restraints on his feet, then waved his hand casually: "I'll send people to evacuate your brother, go quickly."

Emil hesitated for two seconds, then quickly turned over and climbed over the wall towards where Lance was.

At the same time as Emil disappeared, Xia Meng's figure appeared from behind the wall not far away.

She put her hands in her pockets and walked in front of Li Zhou: "Okay, I'll leave it to you from now on. Don't lose me."

Emir thought they were keeping their promise, but he had no idea that this was the real scam waiting for him.

Xia Meng and Li Zhou already knew the information about the laboratory.

The information Li Zhou had obtained from Lorenzo's office before was enough to explain a lot of information.

Their goal from the very beginning has been this moment—

Only by letting Emil find Lance can they follow the clues and find Luo Xunfei.

…

Twenty minutes later, Dreiser Manor.

"You still won't talk?" Lance tilted Luo Xunfei's chin, his eyes flashing with a dark purple light. "This is the first time I've encountered such a strong defense from you. It's quite interesting. However, now I have to get serious. If I increase the intensity of my mental power further, it will cause damage to your mind. I can't guarantee what will happen to you then."

Luo Xunfei always had a faint sneer on his face.

He looked at him as if he were a clown.

At this moment, he seemed to sense something, and the corners of his bloodstained mouth curled up little by little.

He looked Lance in the eyes, smiled, and said, "Do you know how villains usually die?"

Lance was stunned for a moment, not understanding what this inexplicable sentence meant.

Luo Xunfei laughed loudly, and blood trickled down from the corner of his mouth.

He smiled lightly and carefreely, emphasizing each word: "Rebels, die, talk too much."

Lance then realized that he had been tricked. Just as he was about to get angry, the door behind him suddenly opened.

Emil rushed in from outside and shouted in panic: "Lan! Are you okay?"

Lance turned his head in confusion and met the eyes of the disheveled Emil.

For a moment, both of them were stunned.

Emil: "How did you...?"

Lance: "What's wrong with you?"

They both blurted out in unison.

The next second, Emil realized something.

Oh no! I got cheated!

It was Li Zhou's complete plan! It was a counter-espionage scheme!

Luo Xunfei smiled even more deeply.

A deep smile filled his dark eyes.

Emil was shocked and said immediately: "Quick, take him with you--"

Before he could finish his words, a dark shadow was approaching rapidly from behind him.

The other party didn't give him and Lance any chance to resist.

The two hand knives came down accurately, and with two "clicks", the two brothers fell one after another.

Luo Xunfei slowly raised his eyes.

I saw Li Zhou, and also saw the woman walking out slowly from behind the door.

He slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

Xia Meng, how are you?
